    Take notice that the following filings have been made with the 
Commission:

1. Equitrans, Inc.

[Docket No. CP95-55-000]

    Take notice that on November 3, 1994, Equitrans, Inc. (Equitrans), 
3500 Park Lane, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 152752, filed in Docket No.

    Equitrans proposes to install one delivery point tap on Line F-1153

be used to permit Equitable Gas Company (Equitable) to provide service 
to a residential customer. Equitrans estimates the quantity of gas 
delivered through the tap would be 1 Mcf on a peak day. Equitrans 
asserts that it would charge Equitable the applicable rate contained in 
Equitrans' tariff on file with the Commission.

2. Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation

[Docket No. CP95-61-000]

    Take notice that on November 4, 1994, Columbia Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Columbia) filed an abbreviated application in Docket No. 
CP95-61-000 pursuant to section 7 of the Natural Gas Act and Part 157 
of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's regulations for 
permission and approval for a flexible, blanket type authorization for 
temporary deactivation of storage facilities and operations as well as 
minor construction at its storage fields in the Majorsville-Heard 
Storage Complex. Columbia requests that any authorization granted be 
ongoing, and notes that the coal mining activities affecting its 
storage operations and necessitating this application will continue for 
at least the next 13 years. Columbia's proposal is more fully described 
in its application which is on file with the Commission and open to 
public inspection.
    Columbia states that authorization is necessary in order for it to 
have the flexibility to respond appropriately to active long wall coal 
mining in the Majorsville-Heard Storage Complex by Consol Pennsylvania 
Coal Company and/or its affiliates (Coal Companies). Columbia says it 
must fulfill the requirements of the Agreements negotiated between 
itself and the Coal Companies which state their respective rights, 
duties, and obligations and liabilities relating to the temporary 
deactivation of the Storage Complex to accommodate mining operations.
    Columbia is filing an application for expansion of its Crawford 
Storage Field, contemporaneously with the instant application, to 
offset lost capabilities at the Storage Complex.

finds that a grant of the certificate and/or permission and approval 
for the proposed abandonment are required by the public convenience and 
necessity. If a motion for leave to intervene is timely filed, or if 
the Commission on its own motion believes that a formal hearing is 
required, further notice of such hearing will be duly given.
